"I don't want to over-commit," he said. "One of the things we've tried not to do in this 100 days is not get out and tell you, 'We're going to do these things,' but rather wait 50 days and say, 'Here's what we've done.' "Translation: We have no "plan" but we figured we're full of enough bullshit to slide by without anyone noticing.
Also of note in this article: So long Chocolate City. Welcome to Emerald City.. where, indeed, no one ever pays attention to the man behind the curtain.
The Rev. Frank Davis, a co-chairman of the mayor's housing task force, said the city will open an informational center in Houston on Aug. 22 to provide New Orleanians living in Texas with details about housing, employment, education and social services in their hometown. This will be the first of several centers planned in cities with large numbers of evacuees. "We want to get them on the yellow brick road, which everyone knows will take you to the Emerald City, which is New Orleans," Davis said, adding that a welcome center will open Aug. 23 at New Orleans' main library downtown.Also the welcome center at the library bit is interesting. The main library has hosted a FEMA/SBA Disaster Recovery Center for several months now so this should be... similar... but hopefully with less mercenary security necessary.
